Premium Member Thunder in the night
torn between what's good and right silence at times is quite unbearable time's a bomb that's unpredictable casting its fair share of earnest fright i stumble in the night asking what is real my heart's no help i don't know how i feel "I want to be with you. It's as simple and as complicated as that" - Charles Bukowski posted on...

Hesitation Marks
You could've just drank whiskey like a smart man Drown your sorrows in enough beer to drown a fish Smoked enough cigarettes to burn your house down Taken a walk Pull up your mask and walk in for the day Listen to the lost and damned wail once more Bite your lip and try not to cry Hide those hesitation marks from...

Productive Hesitation
Oh, so you’ve seen better days? So your shadows walked straighter before, You’re who you are and you’re not getting any younger You said to count me in Well now I’m counting my blessings One at a time to remind me what will be there when you’re not Is the past behind you? It seems more like its calling you out...

Hesitation Inched
She was working on being a mountain but lacked the kind of rocks that don't roll downhill. Nobody saw her leave the room or enter. Sliding to the furthest corner she agonized measuring herself. Mingling circles backed their backs away The girl wanted so much to say something, to engage the crowd, to stand out. Hesitation inched on. She disappeared once more into silence....

Hesitation
Fair young maiden in shades of blue Sometimes I'd like to believe it's true She wants to play me in her game Like she knew me well by my name Though her heart could really be pure But I falter, I'm not so sure She could be thrilling like a wonder Or only cares for her...

Hesitation
I toured the world in search of deepest cavern, Into its dark core I yearn to build a castle, To let my hesitation live the life of his own. Too much under him I have served From the infant dawn to the tootless dust, I have served him enough, haven't I.? What opulent reward awaits me For being his only loyal...

Maybe I should have told you how much I cared and admitted how much you mean to me Maybe I should have opened my heart to you and revealed my innermost secrets Maybe I should have let you know that I love you and could have bared it all The signs were there if you knew how to read them ~ I...

Still Dithering With Hesitation On Brink of Abysmal Precipice I
Infinite pitch black void zoomed, I vacillated then pitched headlong (head and knobby knees, over heels) where skeletons in shuttered closets roomed, and antithesis of freedom loomed large (think) cosmic size grand canyon groomed courtesy the once mighty Mississippi, now barely a babbling brook in places espouses, and cloisters unbridled wedded bliss till after honeymoon, than couple fumed one accusing the other of infidelity absolute zero...

Almost
We had—almost—an affair. You almost ran your fingers through my hair. I almost kissed the almonds of your toes. We almost loved, that’s always how love goes. You almost contemplated using Nair and adding henna highlights to...

Hesitation has two colourations First being our ego calculation The other, cessation in wonderment Delight of our childlike astonishment Former contraction, latter expansion Let time stretched stillness be meditation Far cry from ego borne agitation Choose! Foolish sentiment or contentment Hesitation Resonation with the love pulsation As ever present orientation Joy current, as our native element Our rapturous being,...
